Anybody know why BirtSample/SampledbPlugin is part of the Report Engine?
Every time the Report Engine is started, it creates a sample databased
in Local Settings\Temp
I just removed over 350 MB of temporary files built by SampledbPlugin.
Should this issue be posted into Bugzilla?

I just ran into this same issue - removed the sampledb plugin and all is
fine. I want to add my opinion that I actually like that the plugin, jar
files, and other 'placeholder' files are included in the runtime zip, I
would just like to see a FAQ entry stating what to remove if you're
looking for the most streamlined runtime possible (which is what I'm in
need of). Where do you suggest is a good place in the FAQ/Wiki for this?
I'll be happy to add some information there, wherever there is.
While I'm at it, another really great thing to have would be any kind of
documentation when a method is deprecated. I have just moved up to 2.2
from 2.1 and I now discover that I am using several deprecated design
engine API methods. It would be great if in addition to adding the
@deprecated tag to those methods, the developers could add a little note
as to why and which API method(s) to use instead.

Zeb,
I would sstart here
http://wiki.eclipse.org/BIRT/FAQ
add an entry named Minimum Runtime. This will be somewhat
difficult, because minimum runtime will be different for every
application. Obviously the sampledb plugin can be removed, but removing
the xml oda plugin will work only if the user does not require xml data
sources.
I am updating the Report/DesignEningeAPI page, to reflect what classes
to use.

Also can batik be removed if SVG is not required. This with removing sample
db would reduce runtime by 3-4MB.

I tested that batik is needed for PDF generation even when no SVG is
involved. Other jar i could remove without affecting anything thus far is
derby jar file.
